In addition, all fire protection modifications have been reviewed in detail and approved by JCP&L's Fire Protection Consultant, Professional Loss Control Inc.

With respect to the exterior walls of the vault, they have been designed to provide a three-hour fire barrier to protect the switchgear from the lube oil fire hazard. This has been accomplished by a coating of fire retardant material applied to the exterior surfaces of the vault walls and ceiling.

Manufacturer's test data, based upon ASTM E-119 testing, indicates that a two inch coating on. Walls and decks is the required thickness needed to. provide a three-hour fire barrier..

Any fire originating inside the vault will be of short duration due to the low fire loading, the detection system, and the nanual CO.

For this 2

reason, the interior wall separating the redundant switchgear is a two-hour fire barr.ier by designet-In actuality, however.. -the' fire rating is probably much. greater..tt'Detai:1. A on GPUSC drawing E,1_110-313-001 shows..the interior.

-In cordance with the.manu#acturer's-test ' data',xthis would be equivalent'.to a two-hour barrier on each side of the ~ interior wall. ~,

Concerning the seismic adequacy of Pyrocrete, manufacturer's test data indicates excellent adhesion and minor indentation without cracking resulting from impact testing, as compared with poured in-place concrete.

If you have any further questions,.please contact me.

Very truly yours, f
